Gregor Mendel
• The basic laws of
heredity were first
formed during the mid1800’s by an Austrian
botanist monk named
Gregor Mendel.
Because his work laid
the foundation to the
study of heredity,
Mendel is referred to
as “The Father of
Genetics.”
Mendel’ Pea Plants
Mendel based his laws on his studies of
garden pea plants. Mendel was able to
observe differences in multiple traits
over many generations because pea
plants reproduce rapidly, and have many
visible traits such as:
Seed Color
Plant Height
Green Yellow
Tall
Short
Pod color
Green
Yellow
Seed Shape
Pod Shape
Wrinkled Round
Smooth Pinched
Mendel’s Experiments
Mendel noticed that some plants always produced offspring
that had a form of a trait exactly like the parent plant. He
called these plants “purebred” plants. For instance, purebred
short plants always produced short offspring and purebred tall
plants always produced tall offspring.

Mendel’s First Experiment
Mendel crossed purebred plants with opposite forms of a trait.
He called these plants the parental generation , or P generation.
For instance, purebred tall plants were crossed with purebred
short plants.

Offspring Tall
F1 generation
Mendel observed that all of the offspring grew to be tall
plants. None resembled the short short parent. He called this
generation of offspring the first filial , or F1 generation, (The
word filial means “son” in Latin.)
Mendel’s Second Experiment
Mendel then crossed two of the offspring tall plants produced
from his first experiment.

F1 generation
3⁄4 Tall & 1⁄4 Short
F2 generation
Mendel called this second generation of plants the second
filial, F2, generation. To his surprise, Mendel observed that
this generation had a mix of tall and short plants. This
occurred even though none of the F1 parents were short.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF
PUNNETT SQUARES
THE ALLELES OF A
PARTICULAR SPECIES OF DOG
CAN BE EITHER D (NORMAL
HEIGHTH) OR d (DWARF). THE
HETEROZYGOUS (Dd) AND
HOMOZYGOUS DOMINANT (DD)
FORM OF THIS DOG LOOK THE
SAME (TALL). IF YOU FOUND A
STRAY DOG OF THIS BREED,
HOW COULD YOU DETERMINE
ITS GENOTYPE?
PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF
PUNNETT SQUARES
COULD A DOG BE
CROSSED WITH ANOTHER
DOG TO DETERMINE IF HE
WAS PUREBRED FOR
TALLNESS?
WHAT GENOTYPE
SHOULD THE DOG HAVE
THAT IS BEING USED
FOR THE CROSS?
PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF
PUNNETT SQUARES
IF THE DOG IS PUREBRED
(DD), IT DOESN’T MATTER
WHAT YOU CROSS IT WITH,
THE OFFSPRING WILL
ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THE
DOMINANT.

THE MOST EFFECTIVE CROSS WAS
USING THE HOMOZYGOUS
RECESSIVE. THIS WOULD GIVE A 50%
CHANCE OF THE RECESSIVE TRAIT
APPEARING.
THIS PROCESS IS CALLED A TEST CROSS. IN A LITTER OF DOGS,
IF A RECESSIVE DOG APPEARS, THEN YOU KNOW THAT THE
ORIGINAL DOG WAS NOT A PUREBRED.
